I believe that a fairer method of districting would be to generate a Voronoi graph where the size of each cell is based on population data. Each cell should be centered around a population centroid and should contain approximately the same number of citizens.
- pzone 10y agoThat doesn't necessarily solve the problem - you can still gerrymander quite a lot by strategically placing the centroids. An effective solution has to ensure the vote outcomes are not skewed. Simple geometrical constraints aren't enough to guarantee this.
